Wow, I don't even know the man they are honoring, but he must have been one hell of a man! That is an amazing amount of band members to honor him. May his memory be a blessing. Thank you to Mr Buckley for memorializing it for his family!

I've only seen this many ONE time, and it was the oldest scots fest in north America. Never seen or heard anything like it. 400, marching in unison.

RIP Rich. We'll never forget your kind-hearted humor that helped ease our pain in the aftermath of 911... Godspeed.

One thing is

This saddens me because Richie and I were once bandmates in the old Irish Hibernian Club bagpipe band in NJ .. I moved out of state and lost touch ... Richie was one of the good ones , may God Bless him .... I always felt safe marching with Rich no matter what neighborhoods we marched through , because you know how everyone asks what we wear under our kilt ? Well , Rich wore his big service 9mm under his kilt .. he kept us safe... Yes, we were an Irish band ( Hibernian club) and we wore green , and we played as many Irish tunes as we possibly could with our Scottish pipes that play in that weird Scottish flatted 7th scale and we didn't worry about Irish vs Scottish because we were just proud to be Celts in this messed up world ...

This is a lovely sentiment. I'm of both Irish & Scottish descent myself. You said it so well. I had no idea that you guys matched through right neighborhoods. I sure miss attending Irish and Scottish heritage events. Sláinte mhath!

Wow this is amazing! I worked with Rich and he was such a funny, sweet and kind man. I would ask him how his grandbabies were doing, his face would light up and he would show me pictures of them. He was a proud grandpa. I looked forward to hearing all his funny stories, he would have me in tears laughing. God I can't believe he's gone. I'm really going to miss him. Rest in Heaven Rich. God bless his family ❤

I am so proud to have served under his command as a snare drummer in the Camden County Emerald Society Pipes and Drums. I miss him dearly and this video brings tears to my eyes. One of the worst days of my life!!

Bonjour de France ! Respect pour votre pays, bravo, chapeau bas ! incroyable !

Bagpipes sound SO cool 😎

The amount of logistics planning for this must have taken a bit of work? I have respect for the planner's managerial skills. 😮

My dad was playing at this funeral and all I’m trying to do right now it find him in the group of bagpipers.

Bagpipes always makes cry with pride I'm Scottish

If your into bands come to Ulster there's over 650 bands.

Simply awesome, next best farewell than a Viking funeral

Very, Very impressive. God rest Rich Desmond.

May God bless this poor soul who commanded such respect.

almost everything in Scotland came from Ireland, even the name, from a Irish tribe called Scots that went to what is now Scotland. Whiskey, and even the language, for Gaelic means old Irish which is spoken there today. the family name Mc + Mac which is daughter or grand daughter off just like ò is for Son off. many of these families had settled in Scotland. So Scotland is like a clone of Ireland. hope this has helped you. ich wünsche dir einen schönen Tag 🤗

A Great tribute, but what are a couple of Drum Majors try to do? Knock a seagull down??

REST IN PEACE 😭😭😭🇮🇱🙏🌹

삼가고 인의명복을빕니다

They're killing men and women for the wearing of the green

Just a question from a dim Brit. The desceased`s surname is Desmond and that is a very old English name, so why the Irish flag shamrock and Scottish pipers in Scottish rig. I am confused. RIP to the gentleman though!
